Fermilab Finds Feeble Fifth Force (Maybe)

[@PrivateSi]

Hi Sabine, I finally did a few basic sums and found my model adds up pretty well. More than a coincidence?! Only core particle mass is really significant in my 'model' where a Muon is a strongly bonded electron+positron (2 core particles) + non strongly bonded electron.. A Proton is 2 positrons strongly bonded to 1 electron (3 core particles).. a Tau is 2 positrons strongly bonded to 2 electrons (4 core particles) + non strongly bonded electron.. So: Tau Mass (more or less) = Proton Mass + (Proton Mass - Muon Mass), or it should in this model at least... 938+(938-105)=1771... Tau Mass is about 1776 MeV.. -- 938.27+(938.27-105.66)=1770.88... If you use the mass difference between neutron (proton + electron in this model) and proton (939.56-938.27=1.29) as a guide for what the spare electron does for a muon and tau compared to a proton you could do: 105.66-1.29=104.37 muon 'core mass'... 1776.86-1.29=1775.57 tau core mass... 938.27+(938.27-104.37)=1772.17 predicted tau core mass.. There must be another factor.. Also, I am using the Strong Force differently here. It should be called the 'Heavy Force'! -- When Taus and Muons slow from (near) light speed due to interaction with matter the electrons and positrons annihilate, leaving the spare electron. Also, the mass multiplier mechanism that makes 'heavily bonded' core electrons and positrons so much more massive than when free only kicks in when the tau or muon slows from (near) light speed while a proton's mass is permanent and travels with it.

They still don't even have a space suit or are close to even finishing a prototype that works. Artemis 3 is not even built and the gateway space station which is required for docking and transferring astronauts is not even built. SpaceX is just a political scapegoat. There is a bigger chance of SpaceX landing people than Nasa themselves. There is a big fear in the space industry. SpaceX is set to dominate even more than it is now and there is nothing anyone is willing to do anything about it because all the other companies have shareholders to satisfy and taking risks is a no no.

I probably misunderstood what I was reading, but …if mass gets added only when a certain type of weird particle is added ( I’m feeling dizzy already!) then it occurs to me to ask when/how does time get added? That is, given time seems to be a “plug” in the equation, when you start backing out the speeds of the guys with the flashlights - one on the train and the other standing still, and we’re holding the speed of light constant, …is there a thing that adds time to go with the mass? Light is constant… Photons have no mass but they move and oscillate… Space-time is lumpy… What, then, is giving us this mirage of time? Or maybe I’m asking what gives us this mirage of distance, within which we keep trying to impute a concept of time? What exactly is “time?” Or I guess in the phrase, “spooky action at a distance,” is there a way to treat that distance like constant and plug something else we’ve always assumed was deterministic?

Correction: the Starship test flight did not fail to separate. It did not get that far in the timeline and the separation was not attempted before the flight was terminated.

[@hugegamer5988]

Multiple engine failures among other problems ended it early. It’s most impressive feat was spinning out of control at peak atmospheric drag forces and remaining in one piece.

[@DraconianEmpath]

Yeah, I was hoping that one would make it a bit further than it did... big rockets are cool. here's hoping the next attempt goes a bit better?

[@ShotgunAFlyboy]

This was just a test of the ground systems and ability to launch. SpaceX blew up lots of Falcon 9's before ever putting customer payloads onboard.

[@KaziusAzran]

That prototype of Starship was not expected to reach space. The main successful outcome of the test was for Starship to lift off and get away from the launch facility which it did, although not really with expectations. The biggest failure though was the flight termination system took to long to rip open the tanks as they misjudge what it would take to rip those tanks apart. Even now, Elon Musk has stated he thinks the second test flight only has a 50/50 chance to reach orbit. These test flights goals in the early stages test not just the rockets ability to get to orbit but to test things like correlation for data for Max Dynamic Pressure, Aerodynamic Flight (although first starship flew even with outdated flap designs), now Hot Staging, etc. I'm confused how people still don't understand that SpaceX has a different way of testing rockets than other companies even though it has been stated hundreds of times by SpaceX and all of Starbase watcher youtubers that put out better news videos than 99% of the news agencies in the world. The delays in the Starship lander are more likely due to environmental agencies pushing back, possible legal battles with jealous competitors, etc. Not due to what the media considers a test flight failure when SpaceX considered it a success for what the test flight was meant to achieve.

[@ShotgunAFlyboy]

Just like the Falcon 9 prototypes. Falcon 9 now flies 2 - 4 times a week without issue.

Blaming Starship is just NASA's way of obscuring the fact that they are not ready for a planned Artemis 3 landing date either. I watched this game get played for every big project there for ten years. Everybody is running late but nobody will admit it in the hopes that someone else will have to and become the scapegoat that relieves the pressure on everyone. If the first test flight had gone perfectly, they would have found someone else to blame.

15:00 - inaccurate: - the whole development is slower than expected - not just one test showing problems - it didn't "fail to separate" - it never reached altitude for separation - that was due to engine failures (some engines failed to begin with, and more likely caused by debris from obliterated concrete under launch pad ; it was so powerful, it compressed the earth, "snapped" the protective heat resistant concrete and shattered the whole thing from the inside (most likely) digging a huge crater) - the test itself was not "planned" to reach any point, and apart from that, the vehicle performed "better" than they expected (well, it was a test to find out - they did not know) - Also, there were issues with detonating it, as it was sturdier than expected. - (That was probably the biggest "safety issue" - my opinion, as if it veered off course, it would not be destroyed in time. But, it's an easy to solve issue once known.) - so, is the situation better or worse? I don't know.

The requirement, to gather useful design and performance data while developing/refining flight procedures for such a bird, was not only met. In the time since the OLM has been re-designed, re-built, radically enhanced and tested. Staging has been re-designed and a test article "can-crush" tested. Some hot-stage article will soon be installed on a modified B9 (it looks like). And as Musk said, a couple more meters of det-cord is all the self-destruct needs.

I have to say, "the telephone will ring" was exciting to hear. Thanks for making science fun!

[@MCsCreations]

Very interesting stuff indeed! Thanks, Sabine! 😊 About red and green lights, they use the same current in LEDs... At the point where you can have one LED with both colors, depending how you connect them to a power source. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

it was actually less bright than I initially thought.

[@vyvianalcott1681]

It's raining here, I don't see a sun and frankly I'm skeptical if it even exists. You say you went blind as evidence but any number of things can make you go blind, I'll need something more compelling if you expect me to believe this "giant fireball suspended in the sky" theory

[@Reinturtle]

I remember see a headline "Sabine Hossenfelder was wrong about LK99". She should have waited a couple days to see the new results (i.e. twitter videos), before making her first video mentioning it! Yeah that aged like fine milk 🤣🤣🤣

[@stephenkneller6435]

One of the major messages from this episode appears to be “more science and less sensationalism”. I completely agree.

[@connecticutaggie]

Saying that the first Starship "did not go as planned" is a bit misleading. Yes, the Starship did not make it to orbit but that was not the primary goal of the mission. The main goal of the launch was to gather data and not blow up on the pad. It did do that. Also the mission disposed of some materials they no longer need to store and it also "helped" with the pad excavation work SpaceX had planned. Come to think of it, maybe based on this new technique, Elon should add Raptor engines to the front of his tunnel boring machine.

[@tomkerruish2982]

Time to dredge up a joke from the eighties: "Yes, they've found a fifth force. However, they've also found a sixth force which exactly cancels it out."

[@ian_b5518]

So the cold blob is nothing to do with all that ice cold water melting off Greenland and dumping in the ocean? (Loved the Muon analogy to life)

[@renocicchi7346]

It looks like not all of the water around Greenland is getting cooler, only the portion below, so i don’t think that would be the best explanation. The coldest spot also appears to be quite far away from Greenland on a global scale, and incredibly massive. We would also expect to see cooling around the other melting glaciers around the Earth, so this blob seems to be a far greater cooling effect then just cold water being introduced to the oceans

[@JollyFuchsia]

It's kind of an honour to receive news directly and regularly from such a senior and experienced scientist. Thanks, Sabine. Even though you present an opposing view to Lee Smolin lol

[@meofamily4]

The Sun is brighter than we thought, by one part in a thousand. That's my takeaway.

[@chicojcf]

Any estimations (yet) of changes in absolute magnitude?

[@meofamily4]

@@chicojcf Please take a look at the graph Sabine provides, with its scale of energy to the left. It's a logarithmic scale. The intensity of radiation in the gamma-ray spectrum is at least three orders of magnitude less than the intensity in the visible.

[@landsgevaer]

@@dr5290 You are mixing up the concepts of power and energy. My body heat has enough power to evaporate the Earth. If you could somehow collect it over zillions of years.

[@landsgevaer]

@@dr5290 No, your statement was just objectively nonsensical.

[@landsgevaer]

@@dr5290 Jeez, your statement is objectively nonsense: solar power is in Watt, and energy required to evaporate the earth is in Joules. It is like saying your weight is eighty metres. Stubbornly sticking to it doesn't resolve that.

[@RobinMoreOrLess]

Some of these concepts are out of my wheelhouse, so it's good to learn more about them ❤ ... Is the moon supposed to be spinning at timestamp 13:40 ? I'd always thought the moon was tidal locked. This animation had me stop to rewind

[@notkerstammerer4805]

No. It's also orbiting the earth in the wrong direction.

I dont feel too bright when i watch these videos

[@CAThompson]

That's okay, there's a few of us that feel like that. We come away with more cool facts though.

[@mrN3w7]

Time to recharge those batteries...

[@Unidentifying]

I think half because: the methods that most of this research employ is often new and unique. It can require some extra watching even for a scientist. The other half because Sabine goes through it quite quickly and lets not forget this basis of science that we keep building up, is built on many hundreds of years of intensive research. You basically get only some flavors even with a scientific study.

[@gmeast]

I love your subtle (technical) humor. I wonder how many 'get' it. Great channel!

Hi guys, I know nothing about the market and I am looking to invest, any help? And who can I turn to?

[@EnduranceIstas]

The rally in the stock market is over, but I'm not sure if stocks will recover quickly, continue to fall, or fluctuate in a narrow range for a few weeks, or if things will get worse quickly. I am under pressure to increase my $300,000 reserve.

[@EnduranceIstas]

Reaching out to financial advisors like Julio Castillo who can help you restructure your portfolio would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be critical to surviving the next difficult times.

[@TracyWilliams699]

It's really important for beginners not to rely only on videos, otherwise they will lose all their money, like I did when I started with these videos here on KZbin.

[@Castillolowis]

I agree with you. With his help, I split my 450-pound portfolio between different markets. During this bear market period, I was able to net a little over $1 million from high dividend yield stocks, ETFs and equities. However, the reality is that you can't do it without a proven trading coach like Julio Castillo.

[@Achakkate]

He is great, he has managed my investments so well and my weekly returns are stunning. Could someone kindly leave their details here?
